Isagenix - Is It For Real?

I'm going to do something a little different today.


If you're a follower of this blog, then you know I normally discuss self-motivation, Law of Attraction or perhaps God and Faith. Today though I thought I'd share on one of the things I'm doing to improve my life and why I've stuck with it.

For those who may be have found this on a Google search, this is not an advertisement, I'm not interested in selling you on Isagenix. If you're researching it, almost certainly someone has brought Isagenix to your attention and I wouldn't want to try to 'scoop' their credit.

Isagenix

What is it: Isagenix is a multi-level marketing company that sells health products, with a primary focus on cleansing and longevity.

Now before you start rolling your eyes over another 'sucker' caught up in MLM schemes, here's a few facts to consider.

Rejuvenate your Body

Usually I talk about renewing your mind or soul but for today let's talk about the body.   

 Remember that James Brown classic, 'I Feel Good'? 

I've had that running through my head all day, and with good reason.  I feel great!!  I just had to share why.  My friend put me onto doing a 30 day body cleanse.  I had no idea what that was, and frankly, when I saw what she was doing (substituting shakes for meals) I didn't have any interest in joining her.  However a week and a half later and I was sold.  She's lost 10 pounds, has more energy, is more alert, sleeping better and in brighter spirits.  She even reported that her joint pain, which she'd had for months - had gone.  What is this miracle drug I wondered?  It's no drug at all, merely a choice to provide your body with all the minerals and nutrients it needs and forgo the toxins we usually choose to consume for short term pleasure.

When I started, I knew there would be an adjustment period, caffine headaches, hunger, tireness.  However, to my surprise I barely had any caffine withdrawl and only mild hunger.  By the third day, I was walking into a gas store filled with the usual assortment of candy bars, potato chips, Tim Hortons and instead of craving them, I felt disgusted.  'No wonder North American's are so overweight! There's sugar everywhere you look,' I thought to my own surprise.  I did have quite a bit of tireness at first but when my counsultant realized I was still hitting the weight room in the gym everyday (I don't really need to lose weight... OK maybe an inch), they adjusted my plan and I felt fine after that.

And now, after a week - I FEEL GOOD! Just Like I Knew I Would. I Feel Good. Just Like I Knew I Would Now. So Good, So Good, I Got You.    More energy, more alertness, I was practically bouncing off the walls this morning, singing and dancing - without even a sip of coffee!

Can't say if I lost weight, as I'm actively trying to put on muscle mass (which weights more) but I'll let you know if my pants start to become looser.

Pushing Through to the Next Level

By Preston Squire


When the Student is Ready, the Master will Appear.

 I met Active Image President Cathy Morenzie at a very fortuitous time.  She had just started the Start Fast, Finish Strong 100 Day Challenge and prompted me to get involved too.   I had already decided to get more serious about my health and had recently joined a local gym.   So when I signed up for The 100 Day Challenge I made one of my goals to put on ten pounds of muscle mass.

That may not seem like a lofty goal but I had tried for years to put on weight, including going to a gym for a year in my thirties and working out with weights while drinking high protein weight gain shakes in my twenties and had only ever managed to gain five pounds at most.  For better or worse I was one of those people who could eat like a starving hippo and remain remarkably slim.

Cathy was kind enough to give me a fitness evaluation and set me up on a workout routine.  After that I was on my own.   During the fitness evaluation Cathy did mention something that really stuck in my head.
